Have you ever been to Pennyweight Winery? Hear all about Richard Calver’s 2017 trip there and more....

“Beechworth is a town in northeast Victoria that has immense charm and, within its vicinity, around 30 producers of wine,” he writes.

“The town and its surrounds range from 550 metres to 800 metres above sea level. It has a high number of sunshine hours but the elevation means grapes that like cooler climes thrive.

“We were staying in Rutherglen, which is flat and seemingly vast, where brown dominates and big bold reds are made, along with memorable fortifieds.

“But on the afternoon of the second day of this sojourn, we decided to drive to Beechworth to get another perspective on wine and wine making and to escape the smoke haze from a bushfire reduction burn that covered the Rutherglen area.

Do you like ghost stories? Local Canberra author m

Do you like ghost stories? Local Canberra author may have the perfect new novel for you. 👻

Whether they believe in ghosts or not, Canberra author JJ Carpenter says every Australian seems to know a supernatural story.

There’s something inherently ghostly and spiritual about Australia, she says, and even though she doesn’t know how to define a ghost, she is sure they are real.

“When I was a kid, it was absolutely terrifying, I would wake up in the middle of the night and there’d be someone sitting at the end of my bed, and I wouldn’t be able to move,” says JJ.

“You don’t think about them as ghosts when you’re a kid, it’s just something that’s sort of happening.”

This month JJ published her first book, a ghost story titled The Corner of Her Eye.

On a recent Sunday afternoon, arts editor Helen Mu

On a recent Sunday afternoon, arts editor Helen Musa joined a crowd in Queanbeyan for Rebus Theatre’s screening of their film, Re-Emergence: Every Storm Gives Way To A New Sunrise.
Made by the company in the south coast and around Queanbeyan, it was the result of the culmination of more than three years of work with disabled actors in regional NSW, asking the question, “how do we emerge from bushfires, COVID19, drought and other disruptions over recent years?”
So, although superficially about re-emergence from covid, storms and the 2019-20 Black Summer, the film has the much deeper intention of showing how people with physical and intellectual disabilities can re-emerge from the most dangerous condition of all – a sense of isolation.
Queanbeyan River and The Hive arts centre on Crawford Street, used as the backdrop for a variety of exploration, have never looked so good as they do in this film. 🎥
